Bolt People! Dec 17

December 17th (Sunday 10a-4p)

Create a figurine of your own design using nuts and bolts along with various bits of scrap metal while learning the basics of welding.

This workshop will teach you how to use and understand the components of a MIG welding machine, and how to safely operate an induction forge in order to form various parts of your bolt figure. Students can feel free to bring their own materials.

Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding is the process of using electricity and argon gas to weld two pieces of metal together. It is the simplest and easiest form of welding, making it accessible for the average person to learn.
